Relaxation to equilibrium after strong and collective excitation is studied, by using a Hamiltonian dynamical system of one dimensional XY model. After an excitation of a domain of $K$ elements, the excitation is concentrated to fewer…

Quantum dynamics of a damped harmonic oscillator has been extensively studied since the sixties of the last century. Here, with a distinct tool termed the ``group-theoretical characteristic function" (GCF), we investigate analytically how a…

The pure self-gravitating system in this paper refers to a multi-body gaseous system where the self-gravity plays a dominant role and the intermolecular interactions can be neglected. Therefore its total mass must be much more than a limit…

Thermodynamic random processes in thermal systems are generally associated with one or several relaxation times, the inverse of which are formally homogeneous with energy. Here, we show in a precise way that the periodic modification of…

In a two-qubit system the coupling with an environment affects considerably the entanglement dynamics, and usually leads to the loss of entanglement within a finite time. Since entanglement is a key feature in the application of such…

We numerically investigate stress relaxation in soft athermal disks to reveal critical slowing down when the system approaches the jamming point. The exponents describing the divergence of the relaxation time differ dramatically depending…

Transport properties of high transition temperature (high-Tc) superconductors have been shown to have two distinct relaxation rates. We argue that this apparent inconsistence can be resolved with an effective carrier density n linear in…

When a system's parameter is abruptly changed, a relaxation towards the new equilibrium of the system follows. We show that a crossing between the second and third eigenvalues of the relaxation matrix results in a relaxation trajectory…

A recently introduced numerical model to calculate relaxation rates and relaxation time of superconductors is revisited. Relaxation time is needed to reorganise, after a disturbance, the electron system of the superconductor to new dynamic…
